Description
Bring months of vibrant color to your garden with Paraplu Violet® Rose of Sharon, a hardy deciduous shrub covered in large violet-blue flowers from mid-summer into early fall. Each bloom features a deep red center and creamy white anthers, creating a striking contrast against fresh green foliage that emerges light green in spring and turns yellow in autumn. Its upright, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, flowering hedges, privacy screens, or as a standout specimen. The nectar-rich blooms also attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Growing 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Paraplu Violet® Rose of Sharon thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8, this adaptable shrub tolerates urban conditions and benefits from regular watering and a flowering fertilizer during the growing season for the best bloom display. It also performs beautifully in large patio containers, providing reliable color and structure throughout the summer.
